Subject: Re: What about a Kelly Diamond Harrow?


We got one last fall and it has impressed me more than anything in a long time. With glyphosate, etc getting so expensive we were looking for a way to mechanically control volunteer corn post harvest. We don't get a killing frost until about thanksgiving and since we harvest in early august it will be head high if you don't do something to it. We waited until the volunteer corn was about a foot tall and ran the Kelly harrow and it took out all the corn and weeds but did not make a lot of clods and didn't even wipe out our beds. We were able to follow it with the bedder and were back in business without having to completely rework the ground. Imagine a disk that only works about the top one inch of soil. That's about what it does. Also ran it on some cotton and bean land that we had tracked up a little bit, not really rutted but just good cleat marks, and it did a great job of smoothing everything out. Not to mention that you can pull it at ten miles per hour with a 150 hp tractor. Best tool we've bought in a long time.
